American Coney Island, family-owned and operated since 1917, is a Detroit institution renowned for its iconic Coney dogs, flavorful chili cheese fries, and other classic American fare. With a commitment to quality, they use specially-seasoned hot dogs from Dearborn Sausage and a unique chili sauce crafted from a century-old family recipe.

Visitors can expect a memorable dining experience with signature toppings, such as fine mustard and sweet chopped onions, served in a warm steamed bun. As a beloved hotspot for both locals and tourists, American Coney Island continues to offer a taste of Detroit's culinary legacy.
